You need to download a pdf printer, then go to print it, and there should be an option to convert it to pdf. I use CutePDF, here's the link to the page where you can download it:

Go to Google and search for: totalcad 1.0 pdf and see if any of the free converter help.

You might also generate a test file and see if someone with an iMac can convert it to PDF (I will volunteer if you can't find someone locally ... maybe at school).

Zoraz already gave the the right answer and yes, Adobe Acrobat will do the job. but if you don't already own it, you should download one of the free pdf creators out there like the already mentioned "cute pdf" or "pdf creator".
